The 3D printed antibacterial polymer products were rapidly sintered to obtain by selective laser sintering with highly dispersed Nano-silver modified Kaolin powder and polyamide/polypropylene composite engineering material. preparation method of not only shortens the period, but also guarantees precision quality product as well slow-release function Nano-silver.

the purpose of this article was to review the biocompatibility, physical, and mechanical properties of the polyamide denture base materials. an electronic search of scientific papers from 1990-2014 was carried out using pubmed, scopus and wiley inter science engines using the search terms “nylon denture base” and “polyamide denture base”. searching the key words yielded a total of 82 articles. ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Both larger molecule removal and dialyzer biocompatibility have been implicated in the high-flux hemodialysis (HD)-associated favorable outcome. In an attempt to delineate the effect of membrane permeability, we performed a randomized, crossover study to compare the inflammatory biomarkers, lipid profile, and aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) of two dialyzers that are c...

The dentists today have to meet growing demands for prosthetic rehabilitation due to population aging and higher requirements on the quality of life. That means higher demands on the functional reliability of dental appliances, their aesthetical and biological properties. Several studies have evaluated various properties of polyamide (nylon) denture base materials. According to the results of t...

This manuscript reports the molecular basis for double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) binding of hairpin polyamides incorporating a 5-alkyl thiazole (Nt) unit. Hairpin polyamides containing an N-terminal Nt unit induce higher melting stabilisation of target dsDNA sequences relative to an archetypical hairpin polyamide incorporating an N-terminal imidazole (Im) unit. However, modification of the N-terminu...

Many cancer therapeutics target DNA and exert cytotoxicity through the induction of DNA damage and inhibition of transcription. We report that a DNA minor groove binding hairpin pyrrole-imidazole (Py-Im) polyamide interferes with RNA polymerase II (RNAP2) activity in cell culture. Polyamide treatment activates p53 signaling in LNCaP prostate cancer cells without detectable DNA damage. Genome-wi...
